Hiya,
You're not unusual at all, love. I also struggle with wanting to take care of myself, because I feel like I shouldn't take care of myself. *cuddles you very gently* I am so very proud of you for opening up to your counsellor - now hopefully she will be able to help you with your co-operation. It can be difficult to build back up our self-esteem if it's been destroyed (the reason why I have tended not to care for myself) but I am sure with her help you will be able to learn to love you and take care of you. Do you think you can talk to her about these feelings you are having? Stay safe sweetie,
xx
